Even as Ista's woes echo over the other weyrs, gold Theiath has offered a sliver of hope: a new clutch of eggs are on Western's sands courtesy of the young gold. There are seven in number, deposited carefully and guarded with great ferocity by their dam. Candidates are being brought in, including Hexader, Pliany, Baylee, Teirri, Zereb, Kundarak, Malonte, Aimee, Liara, Carmen, and many others. The weyr is busy once again.
